BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY

Fungicides are compounds, of natural or synthetic origin, which act toprotect plants against damage caused by fungi. Current methods ofagriculture rely heavily on the use of fungicides. In fact, some cropscannot be grown usefully without the use of fungicides. Using fungicidesallows a grower to increase the yield and the quality of the crop, andconsequently, increase the value of the crop. In most situations, theincrease in value of the crop is worth at least three times the cost ofthe use of the fungicide.

However, no one fungicide is useful in all situations and repeated usageof a single fungicide frequently leads to the development of resistanceto that and related fungicides. Consequently, research is beingconducted to produce fungicides and combinations of fungicides that aresafer, that have better performance, that require lower dosages, thatare easier to use, and that cost less.

Concentrated formulations can be dispersed in water, or another liquid,for application, or formulations can be dust-like or granular, which canthen be applied without further treatment. The formulations are preparedaccording to procedures which are conventional in the agriculturalchemical art, but which are novel and important because of the presencetherein of a synergistic composition.

The formulations that are applied most often are aqueous suspensions oremulsions. Either such water-soluble, water-suspendable, or emulsifiableformulations are solids, usually known as wettable powders, or liquids,usually known as emulsifiable concentrates, aqueous suspensions, orsuspension concentrates. The present disclosure contemplates allvehicles by which the synergistic compositions can be formulated fordelivery and use as a fungicide.

As will be readily appreciated, any material to which these synergisticcompositions can be added may be used, provided they yield the desiredutility without significant interference with the activity of thesesynergistic compositions as antifungal agents.

Wettable powders, which may be compacted to form water-dispersiblegranules, comprise an intimate mixture of the synergistic composition, acarrier and agriculturally acceptable surfactants. The concentration ofthe synergistic composition in the wettable powder is usually from about10% to about 90% by weight, more preferably about 25% to about 75% byweight, based on the total weight of the formulation. In the preparationof wettable powder formulations, the synergistic composition can becompounded with any of the finely divided solids, such as prophyllite,talc, chalk, gypsum, Fuller's earth, bentonite, attapulgite, starch,casein, gluten, montmorillonite clays, diatomaceous earths, purifiedsilicates or the like. In such operations, the finely divided carrier isground or mixed with the synergistic composition in a volatile organicsolvent. Effective surfactants, comprising from about 0.5% to about 10%by weight of the wettable powder, include sulfonated lignins,naphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkyl sulfates, andnon-ionic surfactants, such as ethylene oxide adducts of alkyl phenols.

Emulsifiable concentrates of the synergistic composition comprise aconvenient concentration, such as from about 10% to about 50% by weight,in a suitable liquid, based on the total weight of the emulsifiableconcentrate formulation. The components of the synergistic compositions,jointly or separately, are dissolved in a carrier, which is either awater-miscible solvent or a mixture of water-immiscible organicsolvents, and emulsifiers. The concentrates may be diluted with waterand oil to form spray mixtures in the form of oil-in-water emulsions.Useful organic solvents include aromatics, especially the high-boilingnaphthalenic and olefinic portions of petroleum such as heavy aromaticnaphtha. Other organic solvents may also be used, such as, for example,terpenic solvents, including rosin derivatives, aliphatic ketones, suchas cyclohexanone, and complex alcohols, such as 2-ethoxyethanol.

Emulsifiers which can be advantageously employed herein can be readilydetermined by those skilled in the art and include various nonionic,anionic, cationic and amphoteric emulsifiers, or a blend of two or moreemulsifiers. Examples of nonionic emulsifiers useful in preparing theemulsifiable concentrates include the polyalkylene glycol ethers andcondensation products of alkyl and aryl phenols, aliphatic alcohols,aliphatic amines or fatty acids with ethylene oxide, propylene oxidessuch as the ethoxylated alkyl phenols and carboxylic esters solubilizedwith the polyol or polyoxyalkylene. Cationic emulsifiers includequaternary ammonium compounds and fatty amine salts. Anionic emulsifiersinclude the oil-soluble salts (e.g., calcium) of alkylaryl sulfonicacids, oil-soluble salts or sulfated polyglycol ethers and appropriatesalts of phosphated polyglycol ether.

Representative organic liquids which can be employed in preparing theemulsifiable concentrates of the present disclosure are the aromaticliquids such as xylene, propyl benzene fractions, or mixed naphthalenefractions, mineral oils, substituted aromatic organic liquids such asdioctyl phthalate, kerosene, dialkyl amides of various fatty acids,particularly the dimethyl amides of fatty glycols and glycol derivativessuch as the n-butyl ether, ethyl ether or methyl ether of diethyleneglycol, and the methyl ether of triethylene glycol. Mixtures of two ormore organic liquids are also often suitably employed in the preparationof the emulsifiable concentrate. The preferred organic liquids arexylene, and propyl benzene fractions, with xylene being most preferred.The surface-active dispersing agents are usually employed in liquidformulations and in the amount of from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight ofthe combined weight of the dispersing agent with the synergisticcompositions. The formulations can also contain other compatibleadditives, for example, plant growth regulators and other biologicallyactive compounds used in agriculture.

Aqueous suspensions comprise suspensions of one or more water-insolublecompounds, dispersed in an aqueous vehicle at a concentration in therange from about 5% to about 70% by weight, based on the total weight ofthe aqueous suspension formulation. Suspensions are prepared by finelygrinding the components of the synergistic combination either togetheror separately, and vigorously mixing the ground material into a vehiclecomprised of water and surfactants chosen from the same types discussedabove. Other ingredients, such as inorganic salts and synthetic ornatural gums, may also be added to increase the density and viscosity ofthe aqueous vehicle. It is often most effective to grind and mix at thesame time by preparing the aqueous mixture and homogenizing it in animplement such as a sand mill, ball mill, or piston-type homogenizer.

The synergistic composition may also be applied as a granularformulation, which is particularly useful for applications to the soil.Granular formulations usually contain from about 0.5% to about 10% byweight of the compounds, based on the total weight of the granularformulation, dispersed in a carrier which consists entirely or in largepart of coarsely divided attapulgite, bentonite, diatomite, clay or asimilar inexpensive substance. Such formulations are usually prepared bydissolving the synergistic composition in a suitable solvent andapplying it to a granular carrier which has been preformed to theappropriate particle size, in the range of from about 0.5 to about 3 mm.Such formulations may also be prepared by making a dough or paste of thecarrier and the synergistic composition, and crushing and drying toobtain the desired granular particle.

Dusts containing the synergistic composition are prepared simply byintimately mixing the synergistic composition in powdered form with asuitable dusty agricultural carrier, such as, for example, kaolin clay,ground volcanic rock, and the like. Dusts can suitably contain fromabout 1% to about 10% by weight of the synergistic composition/carriercombination.

The formulations may contain agriculturally acceptable adjuvantsurfactants to enhance deposition, wetting and penetration of thesynergistic composition onto the target crop and organism. Theseadjuvant surfactants may optionally be employed as a component of theformulation or as a tank mix. The amount of adjuvant surfactant willvary from 0.01 percent to 1.0 percent volume per volume (v/v) based on aspray-volume of water, preferably 0.05 to 0.5 percent. Suitable adjuvantsurfactants include ethoxylated nonyl phenols, ethoxylated synthetic ornatural alcohols, salts of the esters or sulfosuccinic acids,ethoxylated organosilicones, ethoxylated fatty amines and blends ofsurfactants with mineral or vegetable oils.

The formulations may optionally include combinations that can compriseat least 1% by weight of one or more of the synergistic compositionswith another pesticidal compound. Such additional pesticidal compoundsmay be fungicides, insecticides, nematocides, miticides,arthropodicides, bactericides or combinations thereof that arecompatible with the synergistic compositions of the present disclosurein the medium selected for application, and not antagonistic to theactivity of the present compounds. Accordingly, in such embodiments theother pesticidal compound is employed as a supplemental toxicant for thesame or for a different pesticidal use. The pesticidal compound and thesynergistic composition can generally be mixed together in a weightratio of from 1:100 to 100:1.

The present disclosure includes within its scope methods for the controlor prevention of fungal attack. These methods comprise applying to thelocus of the fungus, or to a locus in which the infestation is to beprevented (for example applying to wheat or barley plants), afungicidally effective amount of the synergistic composition. Thesynergistic composition is suitable for treatment of various plants atfungicidal levels, while exhibiting low phytotoxicity. The synergisticcomposition is useful in a protectant or eradicant fashion. Thesynergistic composition is applied by any of a variety of knowntechniques, either as the synergistic composition or as a formulationcomprising the synergistic composition. For example, the synergisticcompositions may be applied to the roots, seeds or foliage of plants forthe control of various fungi, without damaging the commercial value ofthe plants. The synergistic composition is applied in the form of any ofthe generally used formulation types, for example, as solutions, dusts,wettable powders, flowable concentrates, or emulsifiable concentrates.These materials are conveniently applied in various known fashions.

The synergistic composition has been found to have significantfungicidal effect, particularly for agricultural use. The synergisticcomposition is particularly effective for use with agricultural cropsand horticultural plants, or with wood, paint, leather or carpetbacking.

In particular, the synergistic composition is effective in controlling avariety of undesirable fungi that infect useful plant crops. Thesynergistic composition may be used against a variety of Ascomycete andBasidiomycete fungi, including for example the following representativefungi species: wheat brown rust (Puccinia triticina; Synonym Pucciniarecondita f. sp. tritici; Bayer code PUCCRT); stripe rust of wheat(Puccinia striiformis; Bayer code PUCCST); leaf blotch of wheat(Mycosphaerella graminicola; anamorph: Septoria tritici; Bayer codeSEPTTR); glume blotch of wheat (Leptosphaeria nodorum; Bayer codeLEPTNO; anamorph: Stagonospora nodorum); spot blotch of barley(Cochliobolus sativum; Bayer code COCHSA; anamorph: Helminthosporiumsativum); leaf spot of sugar beets (Cercospora beticola; Bayer codeCERCBE); leaf spot of peanut (Mycosphaerella arachidis; Bayer codeMYCOAR; anamorph: Cercospora arachidicola); cucumber anthracnose(Glomerella lagenarium; anamorph: Colletotrichum lagenarium; Bayer codeCOLLLA) and black sigatoka disease of banana (Mycosphaerella fijiensis;BAYER code MYCOFI). It will be understood by those in the art that theefficacy of the synergistic compositions for one or more of theforegoing fungi establishes the general utility of the synergisticcompositions as fungicides.

The synergistic compositions have a broad range of efficacy as afungicide. The exact amount of the synergistic composition to be appliedis dependent not only on the relative amounts of the components, butalso on the particular action desired, the fungal species to becontrolled, and the stage of growth thereof, as well as the part of theplant or other product to be contacted with the synergistic composition.Thus, formulations containing the synergistic composition may not beequally effective at similar concentrations or against the same fungalspecies.

The synergistic compositions are effective in use with plants in adisease-inhibiting and phytologically acceptable amount. The term“disease-inhibiting and phytologically acceptable amount” refers to anamount of the synergistic composition that kills or inhibits the plantdisease for which control is desired, but is not significantly toxic tothe plant. The exact concentration of synergistic composition requiredvaries with the fungal disease to be controlled, the type of formulationemployed, the method of application, the particular plant species,climate conditions, and the like.

The present compositions can be applied to fungi or their locus by theuse of conventional ground sprayers, granule applicators, and by otherconventional means known to those skilled in the art.

The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes and shouldnot be construed as limitations to the disclosure.

EXAMPLES

Evaluation of Curative and Protectant Activity of Fungicide Mixtures vs.Leaf Blotch of Wheat (Mycosphaerella graminicola; anamorph: Septoriatritici; Bayer code: SEPTTR):

Wheat plants (variety Yuma) were grown from seed in a greenhouse inplastic pots with a surface area of 27.5 square centimeters (cm²)containing 50% mineral soil/50% soil-less Metro mix, with 8-12 seedlingsper pot. The plants were employed for testing when the first leaf wasfully emerged, which typically took 7 to 8 days after planting. Testplants were inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of Septoriatritici either 3 days prior to (3-day curative test) or 1 day afterfungicide treatments (1-day protectant test). After inoculation theplants were kept in 100% relative humidity (one day in a dark dewchamber followed by two days in a lighted mist chamber) to permit sporesto germinate and infect the leaf. The plants were then transferred to agreenhouse for disease to develop.

Treatments consisted of fungicide compounds pyraclostrobin,fluoxastrobin, azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin, picoxystrobin,kresoxim-methyl, fluxapyroxad, benzovindiflupyr, penthiopyrad,isopyrazam, boscalid, fluopyram, prothioconazole, epoxiconazole,cyproconazole, myclobutanil, metconazole, difenoconazole, propiconazole,fluquinconazole, flutriafol, mancozeb and chlorothalonil, either usingindividually or as two-way mixtures with the compound of Formula I.

Detailed dose-responses of each fungicide in 1-day protectant (1DP) and3-day curative (3DC) SEPTTR whole plant assays were performed usinghigh-volume spray applications, and EC₅₀ values were calculated usingJMP Pro 9.0. With the exception of isopyrazam, fluxapyroxad andpenthiopyrad, compounds were tested as technical grade materialformulated in acetone, and spray solutions contained 10% acetone and 100parts per million (ppm) Triton X-100. Commercially available ECformulations Seguris Flexi and Imtrex were used for isopyrazam andfluxapyroxad respectively, and the SC Fontelis for penthiopyrad. 10% ECand SC formulations of Compound I were also used to determine their EC₅₀values. Compound I was mixed with each fungicide based on EC₅₀ valuesfor protectant and curative activities, respectively. The EC formulationfor Compound I was mixed with isopyrazam and fluxapyroxad, and the SCwith penthiopyrad; the remaining mixtures involved technical materialsfor both Compound I and its mixing partners.

Ten milliliter (mL) fungicide solutions were applied onto 8 pots ofplants using an automated booth sprayer, which utilized two 6218-1/4JAUPM spray nozzles operating at 20 pounds per square inch (psi) set atopposing angles to cover both leaf surfaces. All sprayed plants wereallowed to air dry prior to further handling. Control plants weresprayed in the same manner with the solvent blank.

When disease fully developed on the control plants, infection levelswere assessed on treated plants visually and scored on a scale of 0 to100 percent. Percentage of disease control was then calculated using theratio of disease on treated plants relative to control plants.

Colby's equation was used to determine the fungicidal effects expectedfrom the mixtures. (See Colby, S. R. Calculation of the synergistic andantagonistic response of herbicide combinations. Weeds 1967, 15, 20-22.)

The following equation was used to calculate the expected activity ofmixtures containing two active ingredients, A and B:

Expected=A+B−(A×B/100)

A=observed efficacy of active component A at the same concentration asused in the mixture;

B=observed efficacy of active component B at the same concentration asused in the mixture.
